Rubrik: Re: [theme-reviewers] Priority #1 track list seems to be stopped	(Emil Uzelac) 
 
@reviewers : what is the exact priority rule for already approved theme : it seems that some tickets are sometimes reviewed and approved before older ones. Is it related to the complexity of the ticket or, are there some other rules to be aware of?
Thank you for your answers.

@Emil Uzelac : correct me if I am wrong but from my understanding, tickets are addressed in a chronological order, from the oldest to the newest. To deblock the queue, this ticket should then be treated in first :  http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13131. It has been reopened 3 weeks ago by Chip Bennett but the developer did not answer Chip's question since then.

In my case, the ticket is this one : http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13241. I made many improvements in the code and I can't wait to see it live!

Cheers,
Nicolas.

No worries, it's all good. So here it is, one example:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_API excluding "Cowboy Coding"
there should not be any issues with that.

Or even better:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Customization_API

There are two sides of the fence on this subject, those who feel that themes should not include anything that a plugin can do; which is fine.   There?s really nothing wrong with that method of thinking.  The OTHER side, which includes myself and Emil and a bunch of others do not really think that it?s a necessity to police those particular things.   A theme doesn?t have to be cross compatible in every way except the way that the theme unit looks.  Any extra feature to a theme is just that, a bonus.   Whether someone switches theme?s constantly makes no difference.

A HUGE majority of themes that are being used are actually commercial themes: http://wordpress.org/themes/commercial/

Those when switching to one theme or another will have some things no longer work ? and that is fine.  There are plenty of ways, avenues and programming that you can take to include those features into the theme you switch to.

The BIGGEST idea about that the don?t-worry-about-it group?s main objective is to make the theme review process easier and faster to get through.   The biggest thing that people get hung up on returning day after day to review themes is how time consuming they are to go through.   We also believe that it?s not the theme review team?s responsibility to control that aspect of allowing a theme to have a feature or not, that is up to the core dev?s to make that determination.

Use all of the plugins, theme unit test and requirements for the backlinks and other things.   Do the cursory views of everything that?s important and move em through the review process.

  IMO these options are equivalent to robot.txt which is taken care of in core.

  In my view these are site configuration and theme should stay out of them. It has nothing to do with presentation.

  WPTRT could propose that if a theme is going to provide an interface to set these value they need to be stores such a way that it can transfer from theme to theme and even plugins. WPTRT needs provide those guidelines in where and how these config stored/retrived. so that user/site is not impacted adversely when switching themes.


  I know not everyone will agree to above but it is in the best interest of the end user.

Hi,

There are some tickets older than 7 days in the list (including the
ticket for my theme Customizr).

I can see that the top of the list ticket is reopened since 3 weeks and
seems to lock all other tickets...

Is there an issue there? Could somebody please take care of that?
Thanks and best regards,
Nicolas
